I don't believe this is your code because:

- You don't use lua tags. (scripters would use it)

- You don't show us the exact error. (line number, from this code)

- It looks like you don't know what this error means.

- And you don't debug your code, which is the worse.

[#Ivan7]

I never said it was at first... also im just doing editing like i said im new

[#Ivan7]

+ i did debug its in another topic and i stated the excat error.

This is exactly the worse thing you can do.

So you can just post somebody his code, here on the forum without asking?

He(owner) is probably not really happy about it, also the scripters who edited the code, will not be happy when they noticed that they are illegally editing others people their code on a community forum.

You should always write down the owner of the code down, so the people will know from who they are editing the code.

The best you can do is contact the owner it self and ask him if you have rights for that.

You have much to learn about copy right ⓒ.

[#Ivan7]

1) the whole script isnt the owners..

2) i created the GUI, Blips, Marker, Peds etc...

3) Only Problem I am having with is dxDrawText which now I took out because it doesnt seem to work
